Just blocked some things using Virtual HTML. Is what I did okay?

#1. Is what I did okay as far as SEO?
#2. By using Virtual HTML to hide this stuff am I going to make Google mad?

Here is what I blocked:

• The login box which is in my header that asks for a username and password if you are a guest or not signed in.
• My entire welcome header message which is displayed to guests at the top of each and every page within the forum.
• The "what's going on box".
• The "icons and login code" which is at the bottom of the forum home that shows the three icons with text for, "contains new posts", "contains no new posts" and "a closed forum".

Please let me know if this is all cool as far as SEO and Google is concerned. If not I will take out the Virtual HTML as soon as possible!

Thanks

In My Opinion and I Sure It will not make any mistake with Google

It looks all broken, at the moment.
See the screenshot attached.



Also, I'd suggest you not to use Virtual HTML for the login box.

Virtual HTML Display didn't work with JavaScript if you use JavaScript the Virtual HTML will not work
But if you are didn't use JavaScript in your forum the Virtual HTML Display will work very very well
I Use it in my site and in one of my clients with "what's going on box"

Okay, so Google Ad's use JavaScript so then any page with a Google Ad on it would not work with Virtual HTML?

It would work. But be careful not to put (nest) any 'javascript' (which includes advertising solutions like Google Adsense) inside the Virtual HTML Display tags.

Thats the whole thing... I didnt have any Virtual HTML tags nested around any JavaScript, but it still showed up messed up on your computer for some reason...
